United Airlines has partnered with SpaceX to provide Starlink WiFi on flights. The free service will support multiple devices and aims to enhance passenger experience.
United's chief customer officer highlighted that free WiFi has become a critical expectation among U.S. travelers, making it one of the top onboard amenities sought.
Starlink will facilitate connectivity over oceans and polar regions, areas where traditional Wi-Fi signals suffer, enhancing the feasibility of reliable internet on global flights.
While partnering with SpaceX, United is cognizant of Musk's political affiliations and the societal ramifications of associating with his brand in a divided country.
